On Easter Sunday, police managed to take a home-made firearm off the street and foil a planned assault. The man they caught with that gun is Michael Castellanos, and tonight, he's spending the first night of a 3 year sentence.
Just after midday, police came upon Castellanos, and a search led to this home-made gun, which is capable of fire shotgun cartridges.
He was charged with firearm offences, and when he was arraigned today in the Belmopan Magistrate's Court he pleaded guilty. He was sentenced to 3 years in prison. Police believe that Castellanos may have been hired as a sort of hit man to conduct an attack on another civilian. Fortunately, police got actionable intelligence and moved confiscate the weapon without incident.
